Ben Platt - Honest Man Lyrics

Is he real

Promise that I'll meet you half way........wow

I love u, i really do!

I have a friend who loves Dear Evan Hansen and I was like "Did you hear Ben Platt's songs?" and she didn't I was like "He's a songwriter now" and she said WHAT HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS?!?!?!?!?!?!

This is honestly like oml I am going through a rough patch in life and this album is what's getting me through it oml

He has so much raw talent! How does he only have 200K subscribers??

Ohh how your voice soothes me...... 🥰🥰🥰

My favourite moments in the Politician are when he sings. Wow. Love

Ben Platt makes me wish I was born a Gay man

Literally crying. This song is just so beautiful.

This is the most challenging song to sing in his album. I may have broken a vocal cord or two lol .

Lol same

❤️🇧🇷

to be 'honest man', this guy is too good. I came to check one song and listened to an album. geez

Being over 50 and single, the lines "I'm not what you planned, but I'm a safe place to land, I'm a honest man" just wreck me.

Chris Same here.

He HAS the range.

Ian David Phenomenal range!

I got a ad for ben platt on a ben platt video.


Im just like what

i love this song

"but I am a safe place to learn"

maverick Mckay Many overlook the safe place to land. 😥

Your voice is addictive and songs are beautiful
Love you 😉

0:00 to 3:49 is amazing

when the feels get to you, you just have to raise your hand

Safe place to land....WAITRESS FLASHBLACKS

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Ben, I loved you in Pitch Perfect and was wondering WHYYYY you didn't have your own album...and I am BEYOND thrilled to listen to all these new tracks. So much love your way. <3

This is the most stunning song and has been amazing to listen to ever since the album came out 💚

*sees title*


Aha, honest... I remember those letters.....

Why do people like this? *SAID NO ONE EVER*

On his tour he said that this was about a guy he dated who wasn't out yet

I'm not a native speaker. Could someone explain me the meaning of "You won't let go of your layers" please? I really want understand the whole song

Yanus96 It’s referring to the walls and layers people buildup to protect themselves emotionally from the world.

@Bill Marshall Thank you so much for answering

“you’re so worried ‘bout tomorrow. so you build up your walls.” ffs this reminds me of my,,,, lover and ong great now im crying ben is so amazing

I could listen to 1:37 - 1:56 500 million times on repeat and I'd feel the same emotion every single time.

My gosh. His riffs are the most glorious thing to ever reach planet earth.

Jocelyn Bogart ikr! they are as smooth as butter.

Oof I just imagined a bare a pop opera animatic with this song and now I'm crying harder than before

*nobody is perfect* they say




Cuts to Ben Platt

LYRICS

There’s something about you in moonlight,
but your eyes go so well with the day.
You won’t let go of your layers,
but your power can strip me away.

It’s easier for us to hide, if you come out then so will I, promise that I’ll meet you halfway.
Cause I see every part of you and I can you see me too, by the way that you say my name.
I am an honest man, why can’t you take my hand?
I’m not what you planned but I’m a safe place to land.
I am an honest man.

You’re so afraid of tomorrow, so you build your walls up today.
You won’t believe that you’re ready, but I’d never lead you astray.

It’s easier for us to hide, if you come out then so will I, promise that I’ll meet you halfway.
Cause I see every part of you and I can tell you see me too, by the way that you say my name.
I am an honest man, why can you take my hand?
I’m not what you planned but I’m a safe place to land.
I am an honest man
See me as I am
Show me that I can
You make me an honest man

I know I’ve played with hearts before, don’t have the heart to play with yours
I only swear to do the best I can.
Cause when you put your trust in me
how beautiful our love could be if only you would take a chance.

I am an honest man
Why won’t you take my hand
I’m not what you planned
But I’m a safe place to land
I am an honest man.
I am an honest man, why won’t you hold my hand?
I’m not what you planned
I’m a safe place to land
I am an honest man.
See me as I am
Show me that I can
You make me an honest man.
I’ve said all I can
I am who I am
And I am an honest man.

Major Adele make you feel my love vibes

2:48 who else is shooketh af at how falsetto he is *tongue pop*

Ahhh love this song! Btw was listening to pandora and it came on (cuz we love them vocal sorcerers) went to thumbs it up and the title is "Track 5"! I was cracking up during study hall😂😂😂😂 LOVE YOU AND THE ALBUM WISH I COULD SEE YOU IN CONCERT!!

I swear his range is incredible, runs are beautiful, and his voice is just absolutely beautiful. No words to describe how much I love it ❤️

ben who gave you the right to snatch my wig like this

Ben thank you.. you are inspiring.. you are a story teller.. you bring things to the "pop" world of music that is so amazingly out there. Idk I'd anyone is truly ready for this but thanks for making us be. We need this and you delivered. U are a visionary and a truck artist. Thank you for putting yourself outhere and letting us be ourselves through your music

2:48 - 3:09 okay Ben. We get it you have a range. No need to brag... jk I am in love with this man.

Who in their right mind would dislike this?!

This song saved my life WOW

You make the simplest words soar and fill with magic

JAHDHDJDBHDKDJD

i dont believe that talent exists. if you work hard for something, if you practice really hard, you'll reach your goals, you will improve. ben has proved me wrong and right. this guy has talent & perseverance. amazing <3

Great song !!! ♥

"I know I've played with hearts before
/ Don't have the heart to play with yours"

Dear Evan Hansen,

Today is going to be good day, because today at least I have this song and that’s enough.

did you make me cry on purpose, or was it an accident? also, thank you for dragging Dear Evan Hansen into this, i love that musical!😃

Sincerely me

When he hits the chorus, I’m pretty sure my soul leaves my body. It’s just too good.

2:36

when Ben hits you with a whole album like:
